Hi sir 🙏🏼
Some of us have illness that we have to take vitamin D daily.
Thank you so much for really caring about people
Some websites have ng/ml with the same amounts you use. So ng/ml or ng/dl?
🤗 What a 🧠❤
First class work, thank you doctor.
Hi Dr Campbell!❤
Thank you for your work.. Dr Campbell.
Were there any studies done on types of fats consumed and the effects on cell walls and the resistance to attack by various things?
Be still my heart ❤ Dr Campbell is in the house 🏠

Don’t you think it’s time we were our own doctors?
My daughter had a D level of 5. her provider put her on D2 50,000 units once a week for years with no benefit. After doing some research I found out how important Vitamin K was to absorbing D. I purchased Vitamin D3 with K2 daily dosing and within 3 months her D levels were within range and has stayed that way.
I’ve been on script d3 50,000 not d2 and it has done wonders.
Thanks, For that information. I will try that.
D2 is prescribed by doctors who cheated to get through school.
*K2.
Sounds a lot like me. Mine was at 12. So I took the ones the doctor prescribed but nothing happened. Then after finding out more. I found out you need D3with K2. And that made such a difference. My doctor had no idea of the difference.
I am African American and I take a daily dose of 40,000 IU of vitamin D3 along with 400 mcg of vitamin K2. It’s crucial to note that among African Americans and individuals with darker skin tones, the rate of vitamin D deficiency skyrockets to 70%. The pigment in darker skin can hinder the absorption of sunlight, which is a crucial process for vitamin D synthesis.
I take the same K2 (400 mcg) daily with only 10,000 IU D3, uncertain if the amount of K2 you take is sufficient (in proportion to the D3). Recommend you look into the right ratio between the two (I am not saying I am right, your ratio just seems a little low in K2 based only on the ratios I have seen in combined supplements)
I am so angry that advice is not given out to all people with darker skin! Spread the word!
I once read that darker skinned people, though usually having lower vit D levels than the lighter skinned, would also have lower needs of it for healthy living. When we see that the best athletes in America in the more demanding sports are mostly African americans, that thesis may well be true.
@@radam2818 the best athletes will be being given amazing nutrients and vitamins and minerals i would say.
@@mattiasdahlstrom2024Isn’t strange?😢😮
Started vitamin D after reading study on old people in ICU early on during the pandemic. The study included 100 old people, 50 received vitamin D and 50 didn’t only 1 person died in the vitamin D group and 23 died that didn’t get vitamin D. That was enough for me. I’m 62 years old and I take 5k of D during the winter months. I had covid twice and each time it was very mild. Every one I know had the vaccine, I didn’t and my family and friends all had severe problems without D . Vitamin D helps with your immune system.
Yes, the link between vitamin D and mortality was known from the very beginning, and yet all of our health authorities were telling doctors NOT to recommend vitamin D, as there was only one, holy and special sacramental treatment that was allowed to be recommended. Absolute murder.
“Doc, am I going to die from covid?”
“If vitamin D helps with symptoms, then yes, yes you are”
Plandemic, ,,,,Covid is abbreviation of certificate of vaccination id
How do you know you got the thing if the tests for it show false positives for everthing? Also what happened to the flu, common cold and other diseases?
@@ReapingTheHarvest Don’t ask questions, just shut up and take your boosters.
2 years ago I got my first Vit D blood test. I had been taking 800 – 1000 IU per day for about a year. My test came back at 20 ng/DL. I was advised to increase to 4500 IU/day and retest in 90 days. My 90 day test result came back at 50 ng/DL. My next test was about a year later and my Vit D level had plateaued around 55 ng/DL . You have to test.
We’re you taking vit k with it or not?
.
.
went through the same, though my body doesn’t like vit D when its below 15 ng/DL.
so my doc strongly advised me to get a vit D “booster” which is liquid Vit D(10.000 IU) on daily basis for a month and do a blood re-test after.
the test came back as 22 ng/DL, Doc advised me to continue taking it daily and test every month.
after roughly a year carefully lowering vit D IU i can finally say im on 2000 IU capsules daily and maintaining a 63/65 ng/DL which im happy with and so is my doc.
@@VintageCR where can I buy the 10k drops pls
Would like to know also
Where do I get the D-binding Protein from?
Love the comments. Thanks everyone for telling your truths. My daughter has a 27 and her Dr only said to give her a multivitamin. Nope, already started her on more D3 + K2. So disappointed in Western drs, but I know Rockefeller failed to train them on purpose to keep us weak.
Yes, he did…….I have no love for him for many reasons.
I’ve been supplementing with D3+K2 (form Mk-7 mostly, some Mk-4 form). I’ve been looking for some good document on K2, which one to supplement with and the explanations. Have you seen anything on this? So far, I’ve been following the proportions in Thorne D3/K2 drops and Mercola D3/K2 capsules.
👏🏻
@@debm4363all sources that I have seen have said to take the K2 from MK7 source
So true modern medicine wants us sick
I was diagnosed with MS in 2016, went on an immunosuppressive, and then found out how important Vitamin D was for the immune system. In particular, it is critical for decreasing inflammation which is a key component of MS. I went through increasing intake and measuring my blood level for months until I figured out I need 8000 iu per day to stay at 100 ng/ml, which is optimal for MS. (For most people, 10,000 iu per day gets you to 100 ng/ml, 5000 iu per day gets you to 50 ng/ml, etc. So you can see that 2000 iu/day only raises your level by 20 ng/ml, which may still leave you insufficient.)
Just before the Covid-19 outbreak, my doctor told me to stop the immunosuppressant because my B-cell level made me as low as an AIDS patient, and I was in danger of a viral brain infection. I did get Covid-19 but not bad enough to be hospitalized. Ever since then, my only MS medication has been Vitamin D! And I have had no more MS symptoms during the last 5 years.
You were lucky with youre vitamine D treatment.
In my country literally ALL (100% ) covid patients in the hospital had a vitamin D shortage….I think this has saved you from severe consequences from Covid.
(I also got covid…and my symptoms were less than a normal cold (rhino virus).
But yes, I do take a daily vitamin D 1000 IU (in oil capsules..as this video tells it must be taken with fats) and magnesium citraat as supplement …I’m 67 years old.
I’m lucky with my education as child about healthy food and a wife—physician— with also has as a target using minimal pharma (drugs) and preventing illnesses with healthy food. We also go as far as possible with not pasteurized milk products (Butter, cheese). Less processing meand more nutrients we need.
WOW! 👌
I had a friend that was diagnosed with MS. He had become suddenly incoherent and it had appeared as though he was incapable of following a conversation quickly and he had also lost a lot of basic speaking abilities. This isn’t a diss, I loved him like a brother from another mother, but I was never strong enough to cope how he changed because I had pain too. With the FOMO effect at the time in early 2000s from what technology had given, how could someine with pain still so indescribable to this day as me, not leave? I still suffer the loss of a friend that day. Plus we’ll never be able to share our divine intervention/ai encounter with the world. Anyways, my question was, lol, did you smoke pot prior to the diagnoses or anything out of the blue like that? I’ve been working on a hypothesis that is aimed at solving the reason for MS so any other info would be greatly appreciated.
That was a vitamin D deficiency not MS
I recall seeing that practically every covid death somewhere had been measured to be deficient in vitamin d and zinc, so I made sure to take plenty even on top of my multivitamin and pulled through the virus just fine with all symptoms gone within a week. (This week I caught it again and was down to a runny rose after a day) The same went for my uncle,he’d been watching this type of video since his doctor steered him towards keto for pre-diabetes.
My mother didn’t listen when I told her this and wouldn’t take it, went to the hospital with extremely low blood oxygen, spent at least a month in an intensive care unit across the state, narrowly got out of it alive and came home *with a prescription for, guess what, vitamin d and zinc.*
(She’s a “burn your fingers to figure out they were right about touching the stove” kind of learner,now she watches videos like this but scoffs at keto as my uncle’s health improves on it 🙄)
Fantastic presentation. Thank you. I just got my blood work results last week and for the first time Vitamin D was included in my blood work. My reading was 39 ng/ml so technically “in range” but less than ideal. I was looking for how much to take in a supplement and came across this video. LOVE your all-encompassing explanation of how Vitamin D does or does not work in the body. Seems pretty straight-forward for me now. Take 5000 IU daily and get my blood checked in three months and see what my number is. With a starting point of 39, 5000 IU’s a day is not going to push me into any kind of danger zone (>100) in three months. Thank you very much.
D3 levels above 80ng/mL causes greater gene expression that causes the body to use more magnesium, zinc and vitamin C. If low on magnesium then negative symptoms can occur, hence the D3 “toxicity. Ideal magnesium level is 6-6.8mg/dL based on the RBC Mg blood test. My D3 level is at 125ng/mL and my Mg is at 6.5mg/dL this in order to accelerate soft tissue repair (ligaments and cartilage).
I’m a physician. I have fought keeping up my vitamin D level for a long time. In the beginning of the pandemic, sadly it was 18. I took 10,000 IU for a year, got out in the sun as much as I could. Rechecked it and it was only 19. Researching, I added K2. Six months later, during the winter months, it went up to 54. Then to 81! My adult daughter went from 31 to 90 in 3 months of 5000 IU daily. K2 was the key for us. K2 and also vitamin A help with the absorption of D3. (That is why you find vitamins with “A,D,K.)
Yeah how did he not mention vit A? It’s what balances the D3…
I heard of a study done on vitamin D absorption years ago. They found the same issue you experienced. They had the study participants consume D with the largest meal of the day. The outcome was great – they assumed the meals had enough fat (fat soluble supplement) to increase absorption.
I have had 3 cardiac ablations for 4 types of arrhythmias. K2 can cause PAC’s – not the same as what I had but it makes me too nervous to take it. I eat a fair bit of red meat and green leafy vegetables. My last level, with supplementation, was 60 nanograms per deciliter.
I am always amused when a Physician admits any type of natural, non pharma needs. I am also surprised that with all of the massive, extensive education doctors posses that they often delayed in discovery of proper application for natural supplements. I notice that many hospitals now have specific doctors and departments assigned for supplement overuse. So Many People gobble up Vitamin D, with results of negative health issues due to not completing their study of the function and how it is properly distributed in our bodies, blood stream for it’s purpose. Vitamin D, without the addition of Vitamin K is essentially worthless, and as stated often causes damage from over intake. Unfortunately, today’s natural food sources of Vitamin K, chickens and their eggs are deficient in that vitamin due to being fed primarily off grains and not foraging of the natural greens. I am no physician and claim to know nothing, but do achieve great results for positive results of my health at the age of 75. I am never ill, have tons of energy, always active for at least 8-10 hours of assorted workings, not to forget being diagnosed with CML in 2004 and remaining in constant remission. The Real Shame is Western Medicine being Dependent on Big Pharma for treatments. In my lonely opinion; believe that all Physicians be mandated to study natural, vitamin, amino acids and diet for proper treatment of their patients ailments. Thank you for your honesty and hopeful help to others for the need of Vitamin K. Sometimes money won’t repair a physical need.
Still these should be taken separately 😊 not in the same supplement. 🙏🏻
In what city do you practice medicine Karen?
I was practically forced fed vit D by my grandmother via cod liver oil as a kid. 41 now, haven’t been to a doctor in over 20 years, apparently look much younger than my age and usually feel really good. I’m convinced Vit D is a major reason because my grandmother lived into her 90’s and was strong as an Ox and rarely sick.
or its your genetics =)
@@sunlit777 In part maybe yes, but I’m certain the adequate D3 plays a major role.
before this “eat 10,000 IU” craze people also lived to over 100 (at least some of them) How are you so certain?@@garrygrant2394
Yes we had that too , I am also quite healthy and strong
You still need to see a doctor and have basic other blood work done.
In the US vitamin D levels are given as ng/ml, not ng/dl.
In the last 40 years, I’ve had 3 different primary care doctors. All 3 of them included vitamin D levels in their normal blood work testing.
For me, it took over a year of 30000 IU/day of D3 and K2 to get my levels up into a good range. Now, I maintain in the range of 50 to 60 ng/ml taking 10000 IU/day in the summer and 15000 IU/day in the winter.
How much K2 do you take?
@@mustybusty I use Super K from Life Extension. It has K1 and two forms of K2. Total is 2.5 mgrams. It may or may not be the “best” but I figure taking any K2 is better than taking no K2.
Thank you
Indeed, the numbers that he has showing for the US (also used in some countries in Europe) are the correct numbers but for ng/ml and NOT ng/dl
Because you take 10k IU/day to 15k IU/day, No One should assume
they can achieve those results by taking that dosage or my current dosage of which I now need to drastically reduce until my next test.
I have been taking D3 5k IU per day with 125mcg to 150mcg per day for 5+ years.
My blood is reviewed by MD after results from lab.
I am now😲… at just slightly over 100 ng/ml … which is excessive and demonstrates
the need to be periodically checked as we do.✅
Another superb video. If most of our PCPs were half as clear, informed, and informative as Dr Ekberg, we’d all be a lot better off. Deep gratitude for your efforts to improve health and education.
Many PCPs are liars and withhold useful information on purpose.
Just misleading clickbait and you didn’t even noticed.
They are no and it is intentional. They ar forbidden for talking prevention. You can read about it in something called The Flexner Report- 1920.
After I had bariatric surgery my Vitamin D levels dropped to 17-18 ng. I also am over 70 and I have had multiple skin cancers, so I hide from the sun. I was still in the high 20s with 10000 mg daily. I changed from “dry” tablets to capsules of D3 dissolved in MTC oil. I have dropped back to 5000 IU and I am now above 30. I think the MTC oil gives the D3 a running start when it enters my shortened digestive track. I also take K.
noon time sun on your torso for 15 minutes (if you are caucasian, longer if you are dark complected as melanin prevents sun absorption) is best unless you are north of the 34 parallel, then you will need supplementation, esp during fall, winter and spring.
For anyone who lives in Ireland, take note that the medical practitioners never check Vitamin D, even if you are very ill and admitted to hospital. I asked a GP about this and she said that they don’t bother testing for Vt.D in Ireland because, and I quote, “everyone is always low”. And this GP refused to prescribe a higher dose supplement. This led to a heated exchange to say the least. My advice, if they don’t take this seriously is to change your GP.
And people want government care in the US.
@@davidanderson8469 how dare they amirite
This is not true, must be a bad GP you got. Mine always checks vit D on each blood test.
@@badgreendragon Thanks for calling me a liar but I have no reason to be lying about this. I’ve been through a few GPs here and they are mostly awful. Out of date and clueless. My current GP however is awesome – one of the few that stays up to date, also spoke out during covid about the benefits of early treatment including Vit.D.
@@davidanderson8469 It can be done right. The UK is a good example for over 50 years. But things have changed in the last 10 years. The service is being deliberately run down. It seems to be part of the agenda 2030 crap.
Have had a low vit D level for years and currently supplementing. Adding a note about vit K2-MK7. Started taking 60 mcg and next blood work showed best cholesterol levels ever and what surprised me is lowest A1c level ever at 5.0 (usually 5.3-5.4). So I’m now taking 120 mcg along with D3, calcium/magnesium supplement. Will see how I do in another 3-6 months and see if it continues or was a fluke.
Your teaching in your videos is always superb! I also like that your videos are usually no more than 30 minutes. I can’t endure the 2 hour long (or more) videos of others.
Excellent presentation – the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency (26 nmol/l after five years of what felt like burnout. Just walking 1,000 yards felt like a mountain & it seemed I was always getting bronchitis & sinus infections. It took about ten years to break into the sufficiency zone (76 nmol/l), but I started feeling much stronger after about five years. My doctor said take 1,000 iu, then 2,000 iu, then 3,000 iu, then told me I wasn’t taking the right type. Then it was 3,000 iu, then 4,000 iu, & then 5,000 iu & then we started seeing better improvement. I started taking 10,000 iu for a year & when last tested, I was at 198 nmol/l. My blood calcium was just under the low end of normal, so that’s not a concern – I’ve been taking K2 MK7. I’ve since dialed my vitamin D3 back to 7,500 iu. Today, at 58 years of age, I can walk as far as I want & I tolerate stress way better. Vitamin D deficiency stole about ten years of what was supposed to be the best years of my life. I can’t recommend testing enough.
Thank you for this one! I’ve been missing videos on specific nutrition! I’m 63 and have been trying to lower my blood pressure naturally and get off pharmaceuticals, supplementing with vitamin D and magnesium. Could you do a another video on other nutraceuticals that would help lower blood pressure?
My sister’s geriatric doctor is stuck in the dark ages on this. He told her to quit taking so much Vit D. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 35. I’ll be sending her this video. Thank you much for your clarity on this.
